Although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is, in some respects, one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen woman occupying a loftier position; and if I were asked... in which I have spoken of so many important things done by Americans, to what the singular prosperity and growing strength of that people ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply, To the superiority of their women.

Vanguard - Manufacturing Your Doom

If you haven't checked out CL's great and informative post on remote control drone killing, you need to read it now. I'm providing this as a supplemental post to that so that we may better understand the players. This whole thing reminds me of a Star Trek episode. Actually, a lot of what we see today reminds me of various sci fi scenarios. But the one I'm think of today is the notorious "Bearded Spock" episode where Miss Hot Pants tells a confused Kirk he can be rid of Bearded Spock with the push of a little bitty button. Goodbye opposition, we'll be sure to tell everyone what a horrible "threat" you were so you can have the satisfaction of knowing that you were a worthy opponent.

Let's explore the manufacturer of remote control killing, Vanguard Defense Systems. I pulled some nuggets from their website:

VDI is staffed by professionals that have taken advanced UAS concepts
into reality. The Vanguard team draws on specialized experience of
senior aerospace engineers, former military special operations officers,
military instructor pilots as well as retired Senior Executive Service
Federal Agents. We understand and are fully committed to the protection
of our warfighters and law enforcement professional and remain focused
on furthering their capabilities by fielding a superior product. Our
background and operational knowledge has afforded us the unique vision
to provide a platform that will extend the security and response
capabilities of any organization.

So if Monsanto finds you have their patented genes in your field because the wind blew that way, will they contract with Vanguard to burn your field remotely or just blow up the farmhouse?

Hello public-private partnership, the PC term for fascism in America:

In partnership with the Space Alliance Technology Outreach Program
(SATOP), VDI is also leveraging the best and brightest NASA engineers
and scientists to bring a quality product to our clients.

Here's some news articles from their very own site. I put a teensy weensy bit of emphasis.

A 22-year-old man was charged with computer offenses by U.K. police
investigating attacks on companies carried out by the hacking group
“Anonymous”. Peter David Gibson, a student from Hartlepool, England,
was charged with a conspiracy to impair the operation of a computer or
hinder access to a program or data, the Metropolitan Police in London said today in a statement. Gibson had been arrested along with five others
by officers in connection with hacking activity, the police said. On
August 15, 2011, Vanguard Defense Industries management learned of an
attempted “Hack” against corporate servers made by the group known as
“Anonymous”. Although the corporate servers were not breached, the
private Gmail account of Senior Vice President Richard Garcia was
accessed and his personal emails were made public by “Anonymous”
splinter group “AntiSec”. Since that time, Vanguard has been working in
close cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as
Interpol’s Cyber Crime Centre to bring all members of “Anonymous” and
“AntiSec” to justice. In a statement today, Vanguard’s CEO Michael
Buscher stated, “We are very pleased over the news of the arrests and
look forward to more members of this group being brought to justice by
any means possible.”

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties."

"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is eager to enter into close relationship with the Bank for International Settlements.... The conclusion is impossible to escape that the State and Treasury Departments are willing to pool the banking system of Europe and America, setting up a world financial power independent of and above the Government of the United States.... The United States under present conditions will be transformed from the most active of manufacturing nations into a consuming and importing nation with a balance of trade against it."-- Rep Louis McFadden, quoted in the New York Times, June 1930
